What is Notice of Hearing (Guardianship) – Nevada?
Notice of Hearing (Guardianship) is a Nevada district court form, published by the Nevada Supreme Court Self-Help Center, that gives notice that a petitioner has filed a petition in a guardianship case and that a hearing has been set on it.
The form has the caption of a court filing: a district court in a named county of Nevada, a case number and department, and the heading "In the Matter of the Guardianship of the" with three options, Person, Estate or Person and Estate. It also names the protected person, meaning the person who has a guardian. Because of that caption, it belongs to guardianship cases only.
The body of the form states that one petitioner, and a second petitioner if there is one, filed a petition with a given title, and that a hearing has been set. The hearing day, month, year, time, judicial district courthouse, full address and courtroom number appear on the form, and the form marks the hearing details as something the court clerk will insert. It then says that further details can be obtained by reviewing the documents on file at the office of the Clerk of Court, and that the reader may appear at the hearing. The filer dates it and signs it.
The Self-Help Center lists it among its Miscellaneous Guardianship Forms, next to separate documents such as the Citation to Appear and Show Cause, the Certificate of Service and the Notice of Entry of Order. The form carries the line "© 2018 Nevada Supreme Court".
Who needs to file Notice of Hearing (Guardianship) – Nevada?
The form is built for a person who is a petitioner in a Nevada guardianship case and is handling it without a lawyer. The top of the form has a Self-Represented line for the filer's name, address, city, state and ZIP code, telephone and email address.
It fits guardianship cases of any of the three types printed in the caption: guardianship of the person, of the estate, or of the person and estate. The Nevada Supreme Court Self-Help Center lists it with its miscellaneous guardianship forms, outside the separate adult and child guardianship sets.
The form has room for two petitioners. If only one person filed the petition, the line for the second petitioner takes "n/a".
The form does not say who is required to use it, and it does not describe anyone signing for another person. It has a single signature block, Submitted By, with a line for the filer's signature and a line for the printed name. Questions about whether you need to give notice of a hearing in your case belong with the court clerk or the Self-Help Center.
When to file Notice of Hearing (Guardianship) – Nevada
The form is used once a petition has been filed in the guardianship case and a hearing has been set on it: its text says the petitioner filed a petition and that a hearing on the matter has been set. The hearing date, time, courthouse and courtroom are details the court sets, and the form marks the day as something the court clerk will insert, so you complete the hearing lines after the court gives you them. The form prints no deadline of its own and no separate filing window. The form also asks you to date it (month, day and year), so enter the date you sign it.

- Not marking Person, Estate or Person and Estate in the guardianship caption.
- Leaving out the case number and department that go in the caption.
- Writing your own hearing date and courtroom instead of the details the court sets; the form says the court clerk will insert the hearing details.
- Skipping the a.m. or p.m. box next to the hearing time.
- Leaving out the full courthouse address or the courtroom number on the hearing line.
- Submitting the notice without your signature and printed name under Submitted By, or without the DATED month, day and year.
